“You know, this Romney running for president on the Republican side, he brags about how many jobs he’s saved, his Bain Capital, but he doesn’t tell you how many jobs he got rid of and fired, and pulled the money out from these factories for his ... buddies, and laid the people off and bankrupted the company. He didn’t tell you that. ... But he lost more than he won.”

“What a wonderful column in this morning’s paper by Tom Firey, talking about the stadium. I, too, am a Suns fan, and purchase one of their packages each year. But I think that Firey has asked the burning questions that should be answered by all who support the stadium.”

“My mother used to say if you tell a lie, I’ll wash your mouth out with soap. If you give each politician a bar of no-lie soap, that would create a lot of new jobs.”

“This call is in reference to Sarah Palin being on the 'Today' show. This woman constantly calls the media liberal and lamestream, yet the first chance she gets to be on any of their programs, she jumps at it. She can’t stay away from liberal or the media. This woman has a lot of followers that are crazy to follow her. All she is is an opportunist trying to make money. ... I hope she never becomes our president. It would be ridiculous.”

“This is in response to the person from Warfordsburg, about the Great Hagerstown Fair. You bet your bippy I remember the fair. Always had a good time there, and I especially remember Tammy Sue’s Fudge, which was at the top of the hill if you entered from Cannon Avenue, before you went down the hill. And that was a very nice fair, and I wish we still had something like that at the fairgrounds.”

“I feel it was the Republican Party that put this country further and further in debt, especially whenever George W. was president, along with his father, also. But concerning a message I read on the back of a man’s pickup the other day that read ‘Hey, Dems, how’s that hopey-hopey change working out for you?’ I would like to say to that person, if the Republicans can do any better, why don’t they do it?”

“What an enjoyable track meet Wednesday, from the free admission to the very pleasant live singing of the national anthem, and the homemade food at the concession stand. Way to go, Williamsport.”

“I’m calling in response to the person’s comment on the feral cats on Northern Avenue. No. 1, this problem has been created by people ... they just drop their cats off when they don’t want them anymore, and this is tragic. And whoever is feeding the cats on Northern Avenue, I’m sure have made sure that those cats have been trapped, neutered, and returned, so that means that they have been altered, they cannot reproduce. ... Taking them to the humane society is definitely more gentle for the animals.”

“The emperor of Maryland wants to increase the sales tax by 1 percent. He wants to increase the gasoline tax, and he also wants to increase the flush tax. What is wrong with our governor?”

“I would like for the people who walk early in the morning — especially early in the morning, or late at night, when they’re walking, would they please talk soft, softer, to whoever they’re walking with, or when they’re on the cellphone? A lot of the people are talking really loud, and it wakes people up and it wakes our dogs up, and then the dogs start barking and then it wakes the whole house up ... I just wanted to let them know that their voice does carry ... so would they just please be considerate?”
